I've used Amazon for 12 years and just found settings I never knew existed.

Not shopping tips. Actual account features hidden in menus nobody opens.

Here's everything Amazon never tells you 🧵
Quick test:

Do you know what "Amazon Household" does? Or that your order history can auto-generate a price-drop refund?

Most people don't. Amazon doesn't put this stuff on the homepage — you have to go dig.
1. Price drop = automatic refund window

If a price drops within a few days of your purchase, some items qualify for the difference back.

It's not automatic — you have to request it. Most people never check, so most people never get it.

Everyone's talking about AI coworkers.

I think the bigger shift is AI ownership.

Your intelligence shouldn't reset when you switch jobs—it should compound with you.

Personal AI > Corporate AI.

There are AI and Agent opportunities going begging.

The classic automation mistake is to reinvent old processes, and yet that's exactly what AI developments are doing.

The chance to lead in a field depends on building new tech to support new process that doesn't exist yet!
And again I'm right.

(Twice in one morning? 🤯)

There are leaders out there trying to build genuinely new processes, but the bulk of AI development is simply automating, rather than genuinely creating.

Who will become the Facebook of the AI era?

There's a growing suggestion I'm seeing.

Using Agentic AI to build smart API feeds can become an early income stream. 🤖

Leave the funnel open for testing, to a certain level, and then charge for serious usage levels. 🏖️

Find a train like this and get on board.

🚆➡️🚀
And I was correct.

Maybe it takes a bit longer to build an API powered value add, but I can affiliate with others who can.

I'm always interested in smart contracts that define how a share of rewards can work, as an incentive to partner up and build something generating value. Image

(🚨) So to be very clear, FIFA rules do *not* allow the USMNT to appeal the Balogun red card *on the basis of claiming the referee erred*.

But.

Under the circumstances, the USMNT should appeal on the very different grounds ESPN just reported on: misapplication of VAR protocols. Image
As ESPN explains, there's no doubt the card was issued on the basis of still images and slow-mo vids shown to the ref by VAR—and we know this because the ref didn't think the play was even a *yellow* card in real time. But such evidence can't be sent to a ref *in this situation*. Image
So considering the situation—the USMNT facing the biggest game in its history without its best player by far because of a red card almost the entire world agrees was absurd—it would be *scandalous* if the USMNT didn't at least *try* to appeal on the technical basis of VAR misuse.

Someone is about to borrow ₹25,500 crore at 18.95%.

Against the most valuable private asset in India.

To understand why, you need a 78-year-old shareholding and a one-week-old RBI circular.
Thread.
Shapoorji Pallonji Group owns 18.37% of Tata Sons.

On paper, that stake is worth roughly ₹3 lakh crore.

SP Group's total debt: around ₹55,000 to 60,000 crore.

The asset covers the debt five times over. So where is the problem?
The stake is illiquid.

Tata Sons is private, with strict transfer restrictions. SP cannot sell in the open market. Cannot exit through an IPO that doesn't exist.

It owns a fortune it cannot touch.

The 15 minutes after your meal may matter more than the 45 minutes you spend in the gym.

Here’s why.
1)↓ Post-meal blood sugar by 20–30%
↓ Post-meal blood sugar by 20–30%
A 10–15 minute walk started soon after eating can significantly blunt the glucose spike by helping your muscles take up glucose without relying entirely on insulin.
2) ↑ Insulin sensitivity
Regular post-meal walking improves how effectively your body responds to insulin, reducing one of the main drivers of obesity, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes.
